Locality type:
Peninsula


The Antarctic Peninsula, known as O'Higgins Land in Chile, Tierra de San Martin in Argentina, and originally known as the Palmer Peninsula in the US and as Graham Land in Great Britain, is the northernmost part of the mainland of Antarctica, located at the base of the Southern Hemisphere.

The Antarctic Peninsula is part of the larger peninsula of West Antarctica, protruding 1,300 km (810 miles) from a line between Cape Adams (Weddell Sea) and a point on the mainland south of Eklund Islands. Beneath the ice sheet which covers it, the Antarctic Peninsula consists of a string of bedrock islands; these are separated by deep channels whose bottoms lie at depths considerably below current sea level. They are joined together by a grounded ice sheet. Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America, lies only about 1,000 km (620 miles) away across the Drake Passage.

The Antarctic Peninsula is currently dotted with numerous research stations and nations have made multiple claims of sovereignty. The peninsula is part of disputed and overlapping claims by Argentina, Chile, and the United Kingdom. None of these claims have international recognition and, under the Antarctic Treaty System, the respective countries do not attempt to enforce their claims. The British claim is recognised though by Australia, France, New Zealand, and Norway. Argentina has the most bases and personnel stationed on the peninsula. [Wikipedia]

The western side of the peninsula has ornithogenic soils, with guano layer and phosphatized zone.

Guano layer: 'unnamed (NH4-(Mg) urate)', struvite, fluorapatite, hydroxylapatite, brushite.

Phosphatized zone: leucophosphite, minyulite, taranakite, 'unnamed (Al phosphate fluoride hydrate)'.

Phosphatized zone in relic soils: 'arctowskite', vashegyite.

Vivianite occurs in the surroundings.
